Repeating layers?

Is there a way to create a layer and have just one layer loop? I want to have an image spin every 5 or so seconds but am not sure on how to loop a single layer. I figure it is something with actionscripting probably like the stop(); code that is added. Any ideas to help me out??? Thanks.

Hi, I'm pretty sure that you cant make a single layer re-act differently. You could try one of these ideas:

1 - Make the section you want to animate its own movie and then use that movie instead of the object directly.

2 - You get could into some hectic code that would .. wait that wont work..phoosh!.

ok well for the moment I would say stick with plan 1. I cant realyl see any problems just doing that. If you need to pass variables to the object just pass it to the new movie instance instead i.e.

if it was a dynamic text box called myTextBox and its var was myText

then before you would of said - myText = newValue;
now you would simply say - myNewTextMovie.mytext = newValue;
(if myNewTextMovie was what you called the new ani)

I know that wasnt really what you wanted to hear but I reckon its the only way you'll be able to do what you want
